Guideline Leaflet L18: Covid-19 Coronavirus Legal Issues

Churches are facing a very challenging time because of the lockdown imposed by the Government due to the coronavirus pandemic.

This guidance from our legal Team aims to gather in one place the various legal and regulatory issues that have arisen because of the lockdown.

The updated version issued on 4 June now reflects the easing of lockdown restrictions and what churches should consider in reopening their buildings to some tenants, including Early Years childcare settings.

We are all aware that we are in extremely unusual times and there is much uncertainty about the future. The closing of our church buildings has had a major impact on our life together and presented challenges to how we operate as a church.
